Yet another great fly from master fly tier Daniel Dufour, one of Quebec’s greatest fly tier. He has won many prestigious fly-tying contests with his more artistic flies including the FQSA Salmon Fly Tying World Championship witch he won 7 times making him the FQSA’s only Grand Master. He has invented many patterns for fishing that are now Gaspe standards. This pattern is a multi purpose pattern that works under many different conditions.

Really interesting use of the Coq De Leon hackle. I really like this fly and could see it being very effective for west coast steelhead tied with fl. orange, purple, and hot pink where the greens are used on this one.

Russ,

That’s a great idea. The other colors on this fly are fairly neutral and would work well with just about any color.
